A seated man in an orange-red turban and saffron-red robe, with a multicolour pink and white flower garland and gold bangles, extends his arm to touch the forehead of a young boy in a white t-shirt and rudraksha mala. The boy stands with palms joined in anjali, reverent. Behind them a woman in white sari with a red-and-white forehead mark and a rudraksha necklace smiles, and other devotees in white and red stand in the background of a red-carpeted hall. The seated man holds a red apple in his hand, and a gold ornate throne is visible at the lower left. Probable Swamiji cues: turban, saffron-orange robe and flower garland; the seated figure is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji. This is a darshan blessing moment.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a long red and gold flower garland with a gold chain, a gold bracelet on his wrist. He is smiling and reaching to touch the forehead of a young boy in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala, who has his palms pressed together in respectful greeting. A small red-and-gold cloth lies on the low red seat beside him, and an orange towel is on the arm of the seat. Behind them, women in white and a woman in a green sari sit or stand in the hall, with a white wall and a wall-mounted air conditioner in the background.
